Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor on Limited Edition 200g LP TBA

Cut from the Original Analog Master Tapes by Kevin Gray & Pressed on 200g Vinyl at Quality Record Pressings

For nearly a quarter-century, tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons was among the most accomplished artists in the Prestige fold. Whether leading, or partaking in, one of Prestige’s jam sessions, immersing himself in the organ-dominated blues and gospel grooves that came to be called “soul jazz,” or digging deep for impassioned ballads, Ammons was forever versatile and consistently masterful.

This 1960 date for the label finds Ammons as the lone horn fronting a rhythm section that includes Tommy Flanagan (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), Art Taylor (drums) and Ray Barretto (congas). Featuring a program that encompasses the blues, ballads, Charlie Parker's "Confirmation," and Eddie Heywood's "Canadian Sunset," Ammons is indeed the 'Boss' of his instrument and then some here!

Part of the ultimate audiophile Prestige stereo reissue series from Analogue Productions featuring 25 of the most collectible, rarest, most audiophile-sounding Rudy Van Gelder recordings ever made! All titles will be mastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray.

The 200g LPs will be cut at 33 1/3 speed vinyl at Acoustic Sounds' state-of-the-art pressing plant, Quality Record Pressings, plated by Gary Salstrom. Deep groove label pressings, tip-on jackets on thick cardboard stock. All titles in the series will also be issued on Hybrid SACD.
